I'm a bit confused as to how the "incorrect pin placement" was known, as if I understand the SI correctly, the handle had to be in position 2/3 which was far from normal - essentially cause for panic - as it could be accidentally set off with only 6Kg force in this volatile position.

Was this delicate position 2/3 issue really known and understood?

Was the risk of threading the strap through the handle and initiating the SPH known? (It seems it was) If so what was the mitigation? Strap in with pin in the SPH? In this case the risk should never have arisen as the SPH should always be in position 1, and with a pin in (which can only be inserted correctly if in position 1), it is not possible for the strap through SPH risk to move it to Position 2/3.

Do you see what I mean? What am I missing?
